3. Technical Description
This bearing is a double-row self-aligning ball bearing designed to support:
- Radial loads, and
- Small to moderate axial loads in both directions
The self-aligning design (spherical outer ring raceway + two rows of balls) allows it to compensate for:
- Shaft misalignment
- Housing or mounting inaccuracies
- Shaft deflection under load
Compared with the standard version, this bearing has slightly increased radial clearance, which is beneficial when:
- Operating temperatures are higher and internal clearance would otherwise decrease
- Tighter fits are used on shaft and/or housing
- There is a risk of internal preload developing in operation
The polyamide cage helps reduce friction and noise, and provides smooth operation within the specified temperature range.
4. Typical Applications
- Agricultural machinery
- Fans and blowers
- Light-duty transmission and drive units
- Packaging and textile machinery
- General industrial machinery where:
- Misalignment between shaft and housing can occur
- Both radial and moderate axial loads act
- Slightly increased clearance is preferred due to temperature or fit conditions
5. Key Advantages
- Self-aligning capability – compensates for misalignment and shaft deflection
- Double row design – good radial load capacity in compact dimensions
- Slightly increased radial clearance – better behavior under heat and tight mounting fits
- Polyamide cage – quieter, low-friction running
- Open design – flexible lubrication with grease or oil
- Standard tolerance class – easy interchangeability with comparable bearings
